PGP / SPD My story:

Meeting was really upsetting and traumatising, didn't really cope with it too well and it was really difficult but we're finally getting some help.  I just hope they dont go back on their word.  We are supposedly getting a temporary stairlift and i am up for review later, I know even though im disabled for life, but if that is what they need to do it's ok as i am using it as goal to try and get better for baby, even though the odds are against us at an 80% chance of damage during physio. Should be getting grab rails all over to stop me falling, hate falling over, ramps at both doors and a bath lift too.  Just really hope they don't change their minds...  ....wont be happy til its all done and definite as been messed about way too much now. 9 months was long enough with my suffering....

Well on the 20th November 2009 our baby boy was born :D I was 2-3cm's dilated anyway but I had to be induced early 38+2 due to SPD pain and had my waters broken and took in my birth plan etc... The contractions were fine but the pelvic pain was unbearable and as the baby moved further down etc. it got too much so needed an epidural. I had epidural top ups and gas and air too. My husband was by my side throughout and he was a godsend, I am really lucky! I was in labour 13 hours and tried to push the baby out for an hour - hour and a half and he was just stuck. Ended up having an emergency C-section after a second top up of epidural and he was just perfect. Apgar score of 9! I lost a lot of blood and had a drain placed in and was given a prolene stitch with bead ends. All in all: There will be no other moment in my husband or I's life that will come even close to the birth of our son. Apart from the SPD life is perfect! The nurses were perfect, midwife (M) she was fantastic!!! Th...

We had our first parentcraft class last night, my husband walked me there pushing my wheelchair a 30 minute walk at best, we went early as we had to spend some time in town to post my DLA appeal and a complaint in regards to having being mistreat by a DR from Urgent Care in regards to my disability and my husband. Having got there in the end I was determined to stay and was in a lot of pain, I cannot comment on what people thought of me being pregnant and in a wheelchair but I was determined for them to know the truth, that it was because of the pregnancy / the SPD that I was in a wheelchair, there was a lot of shocked faces. The pain got much worse and unfortunately we couldn't stay, and due to my pain etc we won't be attempting to go again as it is also a 30 minute walk home too and my husband pushing me is just no good, for him or for me as pavements are complex and bumpy and extremely painful when I am jolted. We didn't have transport money this week anyway, so had no c...

Got collected from home today with my husband, my registered carer, via GP transport/ambulance to see my consultant. My appointment was at 10:30am. They were running extremely late and my spd pain was getting worse. Had to go to a seperate room to inject myself with clexane. I had weird bump sensations last night, pressure, very uncomfortable, bruising and tightening that would come and go. Whilst I was at the hospital waiting I broke down and wanted to come home as it was horrible sitting in the waiting room in absolute agony and crying my eyes out. There was no spare room at this point. When we finally got to see the consultant it was about 11:30am quarter to 12 but every second prior seemed like an hour with the pain I was in. The consultant said I had Braxton Hicks last night and checked me over, the TENS machine which had helped me the last few months has stopped helping now so I handed it back over. The consultant checked me and was extremely sensitive today, in fact he was fanta...

I am still broken hearted that we had a death in the family recently, which hit the whole family hard so we cannot even try to imagine what the mam (our relative) feels like. It was unfortunately the death of a baby which we all loved. I am not going to go into details as I don't want to upset the lady I am talking about as she has been through enough. What I will say is at the funeral my heart was broken for everyone especially the mother, our relative whom I think the world of, she is the most amazing lady you would ever meet and a fantastic mother. Heart of gold! I felt awkward and in the way as I attended with my wheelchair and didn't want people to make such a fuss when I was offered the opportunity to throw petals which is bringing me to tears now, just thinking about it. We will never 'get over' this and we will carry her memory in our hearts forever. * * * I am now injecting myself daily with Clexane which is not exactly a nice experience. (This is because I c...
